This is the only way forward. We can't let our cynicism win. It's true that United States had/has many problems but we can only move forward with optimism and reform. Cyncism is what Trump wants...for us to think everything is broken and nothing can change. We can't let him win.

Obviously completely terrible and anti-democratic but this could also backfire hardcore on core MAGA voters. If city/suburban voters had to, they could easily vote in person. But rural voters? Drive 40-50 miles just to vote when gas is $4+ a gallon?

This kind of thing is so infuriating. Corporations legally stole $40 billion from US taxpayers. That's not insignificant. FAA budget is $20 billion, $4.5 billion went to PEPFAR the program that helps prevent the spread of HIV. $35 billion is the entire Pell Grant program. So the rich can get richer.

This guy is maybe somewhat forgivable because he's only 19 but how on earth was Kamala "the lesser of two evils." And if you "understand economic policy," and know tariffs are bad economic policy, why would you vote for the guy who campaigned on sweeping increased tariffs?

1/I'm really hoping all this anti-mail in ballot stuff from Trump really bites the GOP in the ass these midterms. Mail-in ballots benefit rural, GOP voters more than anyone.

This is really how the Epstein class thinks of Americans out of the top 1%. All these titans of AI who think they can replace jobs without consequence. But they forget simple supply and demand and the US economy has always been dependent on US consumers.

The SC handed Trump/GOP a political victory. They could have winded down the tariffs and voters would have seen lower inflation and taxes. But no, they just had to F it up with the Iran war and now inflation is roaring back with an unpopular war to boot.

Let's not be too paranoid about this Supreme Court case. Yes it's bad in general for voting rights but mail-in voting is used a lot by conservative, rural voters and changes in postmark rules effect those voters more. Another "win" that will blow up in the face of the GOP.

What's annoying about the Dem cave is it does/did look like there were enough Rs (MTG and a few swing-district Rs) to pass an ACA extension in the House and in the context of the shutdown, maybe a few moderate Rs could be swayed with some slight changes. But now there's really no incentive....

This SC ruling is really, really bad. The US is basically a police state now. To other Latinos who voted for Trump, this is what you get: Law enforcement harassment just because you are brown and speak Spanish. Maybe you're white passing, but are your parents? Your family members?

If you're like me, a person with a job who gets their health insurance through Obamacare, you really got screwed today. The Trump tax cuts are skewed to the rich. Most middle class folks only save maybe $100-$400 annually on taxes. Meanwhile, Biden's ACA subsidies provided $700+ to premiums.

Peter David wrote all my favorite Hulk comics when I was a kid. Then, years later, presumably not knowing that I was a fan, he showed up at a book signing of mine to wait in line and give me a signed copy of one of HIS books! Baller move. RIP to one of the greats.

Counterintuitive, but: this will crush the US wine industry. Booze gets to market on distributors' trucks. These fleets need volume to run efficiently. Subtract EU wine from the equation & it no longer pencils out. Any gains from less competition would likely be paid back out in margin loss.
